Speed Debates Battle
Weaponized words as sport
Ideas move fast. Arguments move faster. Speed debates strip away the fluff and force you to think on your feet, defend your position, and pivot when you're wrong. This is intellectual combat—three minutes to make your case, two minutes to rebut, one minute to close. The best debaters don't just win arguments — they change minds.

❓ FAQs
Q: Do I need debate experience?
A: No. Confidence, quick thinking, and clear communication matter more than formal training.
Q: What topics will we debate?
A: Wide range: tech ethics, longevity policy, crypto regulation, network societies, AI safety, and more. Topics assigned randomly.
Q: Can I choose my side?
A: No. You'll be randomly assigned pro or con. The best debaters can argue either side convincingly.
Q: How is the winner determined?
A: Audience vote after each debate. Judges may break ties in finals.
Q: What if I freeze up or run out of things to say?
A: That's part of the challenge. Thinking under pressure is a skill. You'll improve with each round.
